A Couple of VORTEC engine questions for you

I currently have a 305 TBI. I plan on swapping this out, I have found a brand new GM unfired 350 vortec motor. Claimed to have 410 horsepower.

Here is what the cam is:
COMP CAMS EXTREME ENERGY 268XE CAM

Other than that it's stock. It has no intake and I plan on putting a carb on that. I basically want a motor that will beat most cars in my area (Nothing fancy around here Central Minnesota)

What intake and carb size would you recommend?

I'd go with a Edelbrock Performer RPM air gap and a 750 cfm carb.
A set of 4.10 rear gears and sticky tires would be other essentials.

That combo above will push you well into the 12's with traction.
